Good luck @ebablab.bsky.social! You've not just left an incredible legacy of amazing research and teaching, but you've also set the standard on how to leave your office and lab behind for the next person! We will miss you!

End of my Bristol era. Only 7 years, and much shorter than expected, but so much packed in it feels much longer. Thanks to the wonderful @bristolbiosci.bsky.social team, it’s been great - I will miss you! Too many big feelings for a middle aged man to handle so I’m running away now…

Published in @icesmarine.bsky.social Journal of Marine Science. Field scientists want fieldwork environments to be safe and stimulating learning environments - how do we achieve that? #positive #fieldwork #marine #oceans @bristolbiosci.bsky.social @univmiami.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/ices...

Past experiences can inform better practice for marine fieldwork

The State of Nature report for the West of England (and we did the modelling). The signs are not good, but hopefully this acts as a starting point to really prioritise nature recovery over the next few years 🤞 www.westofengland-ca.gov.uk/news/state-o... @bristolbiosci.bsky.social

State of Nature: West to inspire nature recovery efforts

The most comprehensive study of the West of England’s wildlife has been published, highlighting where urgent action is needed to reverse species’ decline.

☺️Lovely write-up about our new #mongoose paper on how they pre-emptively change their behaviour in relation to the #intergroup threat level. Thank you. @josharbon.bsky.social @bristolbiosci.bsky.social @ukri.org Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415... Article: scienceblog.com/wildscience/...

Mongooses Plan Their Battles Days Before the Enemy Shows Up

On a termite mound somewhere in the Limpopo bush, a dwarf mongoose hauls itself up onto its hind legs, scans the scrub, and starts to sing. It is a small, chirruping watchman’s song, the sound of a se...
